# Build a form

Creates a form, and always as a DRAFT — `post_forms_id_publish` is what opens the public door afterwards. Body: `name`, an optional `slug` (lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens; the words drafts and submissions are refused because the public router already means something by them), `fields`, `sections`, `settings`, and `targetDefinitionKey` naming the record page answers should land on.

Access class: `workspace`.
